Antigua & Barbuda: History, Culture, and Cuisine
In this episode of The Moreish Podcast, Hema and Mireille discuss Antigua & Barbuda, unpacking the rich history of this Caribbean nation.
From the islands’ Indigenous roots, colonial past, and the legacy of the Transatlantic Slave trade, they share how these historical events shape modern cuisine, culture, and identity.
The African influence shows up in food and recipes, including the flavours of okra and cornmeal found in the national dish: fungee and pepperpot.
Looking at the history of Antigua & Barbuda, this episode offers a flavourful look into a nation often seen only as a beach paradise.
